- Can l ask you something?

- l don't have it.

- Have what?

- Your accent.

You must be looking for it by now.

He told you?

But he didn't wanna say anything.

Some people just can't lie.

He's still very upset about Jasmin's death.

Listen.

- lt's Dominic.

Yeah.

l think l'd be good for him.

Sure.

(moaning on TV)
